Peak Extracts Is an Oregon Cannabis Brand You Should Know

Oregon’s cannabis industry is in a major state of flux. Our massive oversupply, plummeting prices, and widespread industry consolidation have been a boon for consumers and for tax revenue, but it’s come at the cost of overshadowing the value of Oregon’s craft cannabis producers.

Will Illinois Legalize Cannabis?

There's a good chance you're as tired of reading about Oregon's cannabis oversupply as I am about writing about it. Then again, oversupply equals lower prices, so perhaps partaking of those readily available $7 to $10 grams of BHO before reading my coverage are making it a less arduous undertaking. Win/win.

San Francisco Expunges Over 9,000 Cannabis Convictions

Despite its history of flower children and Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco has always had a rather vigorous and overly enthusiastic law enforcement system which perhaps didn't, um, work well with communities of color.

On the other hand, the War on Drugs—and on cannabis in

MedMen And Other Garbage Brands Oppose Medical Cannabis Home Grows In New York

One of the most cannabis-intolerent states for decades, New York, has recently made cannabis legalization a fast-track issue, from city to statehouse.

They sell drugs in the hood But the man, he move the medicine He’ll prescribe you all meds for everythin' —The Roots, “Rising Down” With recreational programs rapidly expanding in the US and abroad, it should be a shock that cannabis professionals are still equated with “drug pushers.” Of course, the people who draw these

Canadian Cannabis Update

Let’s check in on how Canada’s doing with its national legalization of cannabis, four months in. It’s the largest cannabis legalization program ever undertaken, and even though Americans do terribly in learning from other countries (or from history), perhaps we can buck that trend and take away some insight from the
